Yokogawa launched its control room design service soon after releasing the first distributed control system onto the market. Since then Yokogawa has provided outstanding control room designs that keep up to date with continuing changes in control systems, information technology, and plant operations. Users from all industries including chemicals, oil refining, electric power, water supply, gas supply, iron & steel, pulp & paper, and food & beverage have rated us very highly for our wide ranging experience and expertise.

Once customers have completed our questionnaire and provided information on their site plan, existing control room drawings, control room photos, and system configuration, our service quickly visualizes their future control room. Yokogawa experts present with their proposal a draft design of the control room that incorporates both conceptual planning and layout planning. If you are considering a project involving a grass-roots plant, control room consolidation, or control system migration - then now is the right time to visualize your future control room.

Human-centered design prioritizes safety, health, and comfort. Yokogawa’s concept of control room design has evolved over a long period of time and allows us to provide superior customer benefits. While a control room needs to be highly functional to ensure operational visibility, plant management, and maintenance, the design must be balanced to meet comfort requirements, allowing each person to work with maximum efficiency. This is the key to successful control room design. Yokogawa designs are based on a thorough understanding of control systems, plant operations, and ergonomics.
